This is a beautiful story.

And did you know, Washington state recently consulted with several designers that created local children’s museums to create play spaces inside our facilities? The idea is that every child coming to visit their parent deserves a safe and engaging place to play and make memories together. 

People change. Families belong together.

Sen. Murray has been a champion for families in Washington, get better soon! ❤️

🚨Sen. Patty Murray, 75, Breaks Ankle Tripping Down Stairs, Plans Quick Return to Capitol

U.S. Sen. Patty Murray on Thursday shared that she broke her ankle after tripping while rushing down stairs earlier this week. Her lower leg in a cast.

In the photo of her injured with crutches beside her, she is waering a sweatshirt that reads: “WELL, SH*T.”

🟦SEN MURRAY: "Next week, I’ll be back at the Capitol for votes and hearings and doing everything else I can to be a voice for Washington state in the Senate—I’ll just be swapping one of my tennis shoes for an ankle brace for a bit.

"Whether on foot, crutches, or wheels—I have no doubt I’ll still be one of the fastest Senators, and I hope to be speed walking through the halls of Congress again very soon."

She thanked staff at Legacy Salmon Creek Medical Center in Vancouver, Wash., for her care.

This is a great reminder that resilient parents can make anything possible!

After a $200 3D-printed mobility chair gave 3-year-old Stormi the independence her wheelchair couldn't, her mom started building them for other families: http://www.king5.com/article/news/nation-world/ohio-mom-3d-prints-mobility-chairs-children-disabilities-daughter/507-a4dc17a4-7f75-4246-a08a-50281dd4721c?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook_KING_5

A great read! Treatment courts are working and changing lives all over the nation, and Washington is helping pave the way.

One of the biggest misconceptions today is that compassion and accountability are opposites. They are not. In therapeutic courts, they work together.

So grateful for the time I had supervising Pierce County’s Early Childhood Court program at DCYF when it first launched- the incredible work continues and is making a strong impact for families in our community.

Had the chance to connect with Pierce County’s Early Childhood Court Program and see firsthand the incredible work they’re doing to support kids and families in our communities.

They’re making a real difference — helping parents get the tools and support they need, and building strong partnerships so families can truly thrive.

So grateful for the work you’re doing every day to show up for our neighbors.
